Description of the problem | I purchased my 2019 ford explorer in march 2019. I have now replaced all 4 hankook tires. The tires have had cracks, tears, holes, and were shredding. Each tire faulted at different times. I had a blow out on the highway. Hankook was contacted by the dealership and myself. Hankook blamed me on the first tire. I have now found a hole and rips all over the 4th tire. The dealership claimed it manufacturer fault. I cannot reveal my age but i have owned many cars. I have never had any other car do this but my 2016 ford explorer. This car had hankook tires. I had to replace the tires on this vehicles at 8 months due to holes and extreme shredding. Hankook has complaints all over the internet and bbb. I had a blow out right after contacting them on a different tire than i reported to them. I have a year old car with 4 tires that have holes, years, shreds. Today i had to put a 4th tire on the car. Hankook is going to hurt someone! I was driving 85mph when the tire blew out. |
